... tonight which was good, allowed me to go heavier and squeeze out 2 sets of 100kg on bench press. I thought my strength would have dropped off after doing all the higher rep stuff up until a few weeks ago. Turns out it's not too bad.

... (sun) Not much to report on the bike front yet, but Pitty will set about his regular bike check-up this weekend. The lad is back at the gym now, after the excesses of TT, and building up to the event...he freely admits he didn't enjoy the track last year, so he's got a score to settle with it ...

Sorry to hear this, its good that you are taking such a measured view of the incident. As for giving up biking, it could be for the best, especially for the short term, as you said you can always go back if you change your mind. Take care and look after yourself.

... to the side and use the right foot to say thanks to drivers once you are past. Biggest issue over here is pissed Frenchmen in cars, especially after lunch :D More often than not the gendarmes are out catching squiffy drivers rather than speed. Though they do hide in hedges with laser guns too.

After the success of Tuesday's ride (I went out just before 9pm so there weren't that many other people out and about) I went out last night and did an 11 mile ride at about 7pm. I have learned some things which may come in ...

The Jacobs Ladder is a bitch, when incorporated into a circuit it's insane... Took a good hour or so to stop sweating after a 30 min session

ditto i always acknowledge people who pull overI know theres been some negatives about car drives lately but coming back to bikes after a long lay off I have to say the majority of drivers pull over and are good to bikers from what I have seen

I know she should've been calmer, but the officers told her they couldn't check the database after 9 pm, even though I was willing to produce the ins document and payment and also offered to collect the car as I am insured for it and also on my own They wouldn't accept ...

Trained a couple of times on holiday, only light weights but got a good pump for strutting round the pool lol, weighed myself this morning and after a week of proper over indulging I only put about 3Ib's on.

... roads. There you go :) :) I would suggest we meet in Theale. If you come off the M4 at junction 12 and head in the Newbury direction, immediately after the 1st roundabout there is a layby, It's a really easy place to meet. If we meet up there for about 9ish then we can take the back roads up through ...

When I rode down to the mother in law's the other week, I ended up speaking to myself in a myriad of different accents.
I was cold, wet and aching after 3 hours on the bike and started with a Cockney accent and worked my way through French, Russian, Scottish and Welsh.

I have no idea why.

Hoping my phone line is up and running now so I can ring up the electricity suppliers and after that selling a pair of BT 016 Tyres :-)

... we know that speeding offences have declined over recent years and just last week the Department for Transport confirmed that, even after taking congestion out of the equation, recorded traffic speeds have been dropping for a decade on all types of roads." then you've got this ...

Doubt I'll get away with this and the cheddar run the weekend after.

But I'll give it a go

... cheap with a crash and a theft on your cards, then the end of July the Kwacky's are on holiday. The only thing I'm going to do is an oil change after the next track day.

Could be worse Frankie, twice I have gone over to help my step dad clear their garden and both times he has proceeded to cut through the mains wire with the hedge trimmer and short out the whole house, you would have thought he would learn after the 1st time

See those prancing horse badges on the side? £1200 a pair. :D Cookie, not 5 minutes after the Ferrari left, an F Type pulled up too. I have to say at normal road speeds the F type sounded better than the 458 but i suspect revving the Ferrari hard maybe where its ...

Cookie, not 5 minutes after the Ferrari left, an F Type pulled up too. I have to say at normal road speeds the F type sounded better than the 458 but i suspect revving the Ferrari hard maybe where its epic noise is hiding.
